Bacamarte was a Brazilian progressive rock band. They were first formed in 1974 by a fourteen year-old Mario Neto, though because of their age they soon disbanded. In 1977, Neto reformed Bacamarte with a new set of musicians. It was this line-up that in 1978 recorded Bacamarte's opus, Depois do Fim. Neto was wary of the then popular disco scene and decided that he would with hold the tapes and release them at a more suitable time. After being persuaded by a friend in 1982 he submitted the tape to a local radio to great public response; the album itself was then released in early 1983. It is currently in the top user voted using a weighted average progressive rock albums listed on ProgArchives. A second album was released in 1999 from materials recorded in the 80s; it is largely considered a Mario Neto solo work and features only himself and keyboardist Robério Molinari.
